The Queens Jubilee.

a well-known Sacramentan of English
birth has received from George Theobald
Jr, Honorary Secretary of meeting oi
Englishmen recently held at the Palace
Hotel, San Francisco, a communication
calling attention to the action then taken
and subsequently, and requesting him to
name British residents for place on the
general committee to be appointed to ar
range for celebration in San Francisco on
the 10th of next June, or such other day as
may be designated. The idea is that an
effort be made to raise sufficient sum of
money to secure and endow an hospital, or
portion of an hospital, TO be called the
Victoria Hospital, or wing or ward, to be
conducted under such regulations as NAV
be hereafter determined on, the primary
object of which shall be to afford medical
aid and comfort to British-born residents of
this State, or to those who may have spe-
cial claims on the British community. II
is expected that the public celebration will
be more than self-supporting, and that it
may leave substantial surplus, which
would be available for the permanent COM
memoration fund. On the other hand. the
requirement and endowment of an hos
pltal, or even an adequate portion oil an
hospital, would necessitate the raising of a
large sum; but il is thought that so desira-
bic an object will enlist general sympathy
and support, not only in San Francisco
and Oakland, but also throughout the State

The Governor of Panama Offends Uncle
Sam, and Gets Dismissed.

sam, and Gets Dismissed.
WASHINGTON, April 17th.-[Special. J.
About year ago General Villa, local Gov
ernor of Panama, issued an order directing
the suspension of the Star and Herald of
that city. The owners of the paper pro-
tested. The period of suspension was sixty
days. Before the ponderous diplomatic
machinery could be set going the time ex-
pired, and the publication of the paper was
resumed. Bayard's last letter of instruc-
ton to our then Minister to Columbia, Mr..
Jacob, was so forcible in its manner of
dealing with the question of protection Tin
which 1t makes the above case precedenD
that some extracts from it may be interest
ing. After good deal of backing and fill
ing, the local Governor, who had issued the
order of suspension, stated that the National
Executive at Bogota had directed the sus-
pension, and not the local authorities at
Panama. Bayard replies in these words
"Of this (the order of the National Gov
ernmenD there is no evidence beyond the
recital quoted, and no intimation of any
lawful charges having been found. Such
executive order, in time of peace, is against
the Constitution of Columbia, and even
were the facts established it would merely
transfer to the Executive of the national
power of Columbia the responsibility of
wanton injury to the rights and property
of American citizens"
Bayard then stated that this Govern
ment denied the right of any foreign ma
tion to interfere with the business oper-
ations of an American citizen, and
restrict his rights. You will ask" SAYS
says he to our Minister, Tin case the Ma
tional Government has not already dealt
with the local Government and compelled
it to undo its action) of the Columbian
Government either frank disavowal of
the acts of its agent and the stern rebuke
and punishment of General Villa for this
reprehensible excess of authority or as
sumption of responsibility for his acts
The result of all this was that, though
the time of the papers suspension had ex-
pired, the National Government disavowed
the acts of General Villa and directed him
to surrender his office to the next in rank.

How Railroad in the South was Sys-
tematicaIIy Plundered.
New York, April 1Sih.-[Special IA
special from Charleston, S. c., says A
white man and two negroes have been ar
rested in Greenville, charged with being
implicated in scheme for the wholesale
robbery of through freight trains on the
Richmond and Danville Railroad. John
Caldwell, the white man, is very widely
known. All three were committed to Jail.
Since last November the authorities of
the Richmond and Danville Railroad have
missed various articles of freight from trains
en- route to the South. Goods to the value
OF 50 900 have been reported missing. The
robbery was traced to Greenville, and it
was discovered that Caldwell had been
offering privately a large lot of plaids
for sale. Investigation showed that a
systematic plan of robbery was being
operated by an organized band. The
scheme was TO have member of the gang
conceal himself in a loaded freight car at
some station north of GreenvIlle, select as
much of the cargo as he deemed available.
and as the train passed the Fair Grounds,
just outside the Greenville limits, throw
out the goods. A confederate would be in
waiting to spirit the goods away till they
could be sold. Porter Wellby negro, be-
lieved to be the ringleader, has escaped.
Other persons are under suspicion, but so
far no railroad men are implicated Since
his incarceration Caldwell has informed
the Chief of Police where lot of 1900
yards OF plaids can be found at store in
the country.

CHARGES OF JURY. BRIBING.

CHICAGO, April 17th.-The Daily Nelcs'
Sioux City special says: There were but

When the foreman announced that eleven

did not think he could give fair and i'm

Judge that he presumably O'Connell1 had

the prosecution during the trial, and asked

did not want to implicate anyone, but ad-

WEALTH GALORE.
Texas People Excited Over the Discovery
of Hidden Gold

CHICAGO, April 17th.-The Times Fort
Worth Tex } special says Under a corner
of the residence of William Tubbs. Sr.. a
farmer living near Crawford, was found an
old iron pot containing over 81 900 in gold.
The discovery was made several davs ago
in peculiar manner. Two men called
upon Mr.. Tubbs and told him that an old
Indian woman, whom they had taken care
of in her last days, had revealed to them
the fact that in 1865, fearing a visit from
the Yankee soldiers, she had buried her
wealth under Mr.. Tubbs house, and on her
death-bed she had bequeathed it to them.
The money was discovered as stated above.
Captain Beverly, who owns farm near
Mr.. Tubbs, says.that he and his hired man
recently plowed up $3.50 in $40 gold
pieces, which were scattered in the field.
The statement created the greatest excite
ment, and all the farmers in the neighbor-
hood are now digging for gold, and some of
them have refused 500 an acre for their
property. In 1919 the Tankawa Indians
received $4,000 from the Texas Govern
ment for portion of their reservation, and
as the tribe was encamped for nine months
near where Beverly's farm now is, it is
probable they hid most of their money in
that neighborhood

Alleged Proof that ParneiI Indorsed the
Dublin Murders

LONDON, April 17th-The Times, as proof
of its assertion at the conclusion Of its
articles on Parnellism and Crime" that
it had further documentary evidence, prints
the fac siraile of letter signed by Mr.. Par
nell, and supposed to have been addressed
to Egan to pacify his subordinates
when Parnell publicly denounced the
Phoenix Park murderers. The letter fills
one side of an ordinary sheet of note paper
and is in strange handwriting. Yours,
very truly, Chas. S. Parnell," in Parnelrs
writing, is al the top of the other leaf.
The Times suggests that the signature was
so written, so that it could be torn off, if
necessary. The letter, which is dated
simply ." 15-5-S2," without an address, is as
follows:
Dear Sir: am not surprised at your friend s
anger but he and you should know that to de-
nounce murder was the only course open to us
10 do that promptly was plainly our best policy;
but you can tell him, and all others concerned,
that though regret the accident of Lord Cayen-
dlshs death, l cannot refuse to admit that
Burke got no more than his deserts. You are
at liberty to show him this and others whom
you can trust also, but let not my address be
mons.
The Times says: Parnell cannot expect
that the simple republication of this letter
will have any weight with public opinion.
He must bring more solid proofs to annul
the effect OF this disclosure"

SUNDAY IN WASHINGTON.
The National Capital for Once Assumes
a Sabbath Appearance.

Sabbath Appearance.
WASHINGTON, April 17th.-This has been
quiet Sunday in Washington. The order
of the Commissioners directing the closing
of nearly all places of business went into
effect this morning and was generally OBJ
served, except in a few matters upon which
published interviews indicate difference
of opinion between the municipal authori-
ties. There were several dealers, however
especially in down town districts, who kept
open and announced their intention to test
the law. The order which produced this
result was based upon an obsolete law
which directed that all places of business,
such as groceries, saloons, butcher shops,
confectionery and cigar stores, be kept
closed on Sunday that news stands and
newsboys should not be allowed to sell
after l o'clock that drug stores should
sell nothing except medicines, and that
carriages should not loiteI on the street.
The delivery of milk, bread. ETC., and arti-
cles previously purchased, the order said.
would not be interfered With, nor would
eating-houses be closed, provided their
bars, if any, were closed and separated
from the restaurant. The liquor men, it
Is believed, in nearly every instance obeyed
the order, although the police report that
there were one or two violations 1t was
at their doors, and that people were allowed
to enter cigar stores that were closed. with
the exception of few places, where the
owners informed the police that they de.
sired to test the law. All confectioneries
were closed, and no hacks were seen on the
streets. The observance of the order. as
regards drug stores and news stands was
much less general.
A few of the hotels, notably the Riggs
House and Everett House, refused to serve
guests with wine at their meals, but this
practice did not generally prevail. The
police did not arrest those whom thew de-
tected evading the law, but reported the
facts to their superiors, and it is under
stood that warrants will be issued to-mor-
row for their arrest. The police refuse to
state the number of violations discovered.
but six arrests were made for drunkenness
up to 10 o'clock tonight. against an aver
age of about twenty on previous SUNDAYS.
There have been the usual number of
amusing incidents connected with the en-
forcement of the law. The suburban
tipping houses all laid in an extra supply
of liquor in expectation of a run but
the rainy weather kept most people at
home, and the proprietors got left. v
